Giuseppe Molini was an Italian mapmaker and engraver who created his works for wealthy patrons. Molini studied mathematics and engineering at a university for a time before devoting himself to topographical pursuits. This rare and very interesting map of the storied City of Florence contrasts with the usually staid and straightforward urban charts from the north and west of Europe.
